Games from the Soulslike genre, such as Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, requires players to be precise with their attacks, which the default PC settings can sometimes hinder. Since not everyone has the same gaming rig, and like other multi-platform releases, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is susceptible to stuttering and dropping frame rate issues.
To circumvent these issues, players can tweak their PC settings to get the most out of the game until an update with fixes rolls out. Since Soulslike or Bloodbornelike players must always be on their toes, battling bosses with performance issues can be cumbersome. Here are some changes players can make to get the best Soulslike experience in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.
Best Graphic Settings For Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty
Many of the graphic settings can be hidden behind menus, resulting in players using default settings meant for more powerful PCs. The first step players need to do is go into the Graphic Settings menu and change the Mode preset. By default, the mode is set to ‘Prioritize Resolution,’ which causes most of the stuttering issues. Players should change this to ‘Prioritize FPS’ so that they can get the best possible performance in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.
However, if players want to tweak the settings further, they can use some custom settings to make their experience smoother. First, select the ‘Custom’ preset that will unlock other settings players can tweak. Once the preset has been changed, they can use the below PC settings for an easy frames rate fix:

Settings such as Motion Blur, Film Grain, Depth of Field, and Lens Flare are usually used for a better visual experience. However, these settings can put an additional load on Graphic Cards and often results in lower performance. Disabling Ambient Occlusion is a quick fix for stuttering or flickering white lights players might experience during their gameplay.
It is worth pointing out that these settings aim to improve FPS performance, not visual fidelity. However, using these settings will enable players to beat Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty’s Zhang Liang without any performance issues, while the game looks visually acceptable.
